Just curious how people got their fahaka to accept pellets. I was looking over my tanks and realized that my puffer is one of the very few fish i was never able to wean onto pellets.
Fahaka on pellets
- Thread starter Charney
- Start date
Mine just started eating them one day. He had a few tankmates when he was small (not anymore) who ate them, so he just tried a few one day. He now eats them as his regular diet. "Dainichi Ultima Krill"
Usually it has to do with competition from other fish. Generally, puffers need a wide variety of foods, to you'll still need to feed alternate choices.

PP is right. I also include snails, worms (nightcrawlers & red wigglers) and the occasional bloodworm that sneaks through my pump ( from feeding a convict in my sump ). IF you can get your puffer eating pellets, it's the best food IMO. They get tons of nutrients that they usually wouldn't get from a live food only source.
Yeah I have tryed the get my Fahaka to eat pellets. Chew one up but spit it out bout as soon as he chew it up. NLS Thera+A would be awesome pellet to add to a puffers diet in many ways.
It also seems to me watching some of my smaller puffers that have taken pellets that their teeth get in the way.
I have a GSP that loves pellets, but with all the chewing he does on them, it looks like most of the pellet just ends up getting ground into little pieces and released into the h2o.

I had GSP's that had not problem eating pellets. As a matter of fact everyone of my GSP's in the past ate the crap out of pellets along with their frozen foods and snails. But my fahaka will not eat them
